Deductions & credits

Line 28 shows the refundable child tax credit for the two children.  It sounds like you got some advance monthly payments for the older child during July to December, and you are getting the full amount for the baby and the other part of the credit for the five year old on line 28.

 

If line 30 is blank---you did not get the recovery rebate credit for the baby born in 2021.   Did you get a stimulus check of $1400 for the five year old earlier in 2021?  Check your online account and see if the IRS says you got it.   If you did not get the $1400 for the 5 year old you can get it for him too.  You have to get it as a recovery rebate credit, and you will have to amend 2021 to get it.
